The judiciary itself is juvenile..

For quite a few decades, the common man in this nation has looked upon the Indian judiciary as the ultimate and only source of solace. The deep rooted corruption in the executive and the legislature has contributed to this perception. However, the judiciary has also been tarnished by corruption and favoritism in the recent years. This may be explained as the reflection of the society in which we live.

But the delay in delivering judgements can not be explained by any means. The usual excuses like under staffing and huge amount of litigation is not satisfactory.

Today's news report regarding a person who has been under trial for THIRTY FOUR YEARS shows just how silly our system is. The guy has been declared a juvenile after all these years. So the case has to be dealt by the juvenile justice board now!!!

Moreover, the perception that the rich and the mighty can easily get away with just about anything is gaining ground. The corruption case in which Tamilnadu CM Jayalalitha is an accused and the infamous hit and run case involving Salman Khan are some examples.

Wonder why a PIL is not filed against this system of cases being dragged till eternity. Any hope that the case regarding the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 Or the Ayodhya case will be decided in this century???

May be the judiciary should be transformed in to an MNC like structure with WTD, MTD, QTD deadlines, penalties and Service Level agreements and appraisals. An amusing thought indeed...
